Fire Escapes
I can't explain why I've always been a little into fire escapes. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I never saw them growing up that often, or the thought of having to climb out of a burning building along with a bunch of other people, and then having to jump 15 feet seemed like such a crazy idea. So whenever I can I take a second and appreciate these contraptions for what they are. While I was strolling through the greatest city on the planet (for reasons specific to myself) I got my fix for a while, because they had them all. Tall ones, short ones, boring ones, beautiful ones, sketchy ones, and pointless ones. I don't discriminate on what they look like nor their designers intentions, I just enjoy seeing them around hanging on the side of these buildings. Maybe I feel like they don't get the recognition they deserve because it's one of those things can be fun to look at, but you hope you never have to use.

New York in June
The first week of June was an amazing one because I was given the opportunity fly to the east coast and show my girlfriend New York City for her first time. We tried to see everything we could and do as much as possible, and even though we walked our legs off it made for an unforgettable trip. I intended to bring black and white film with me, however due to an unfortunate incident my Minolta wasn't able to make the flight. I did not want that to stop from getting the images I intended to shoot, so I forced myself to pretend every photo I took was going to come out black and white. I'm pleased with the images I ended up with and the whole trip was a learning experience. Apart from a giant batch of touristy photos that I have, these are the ones I'd like to share.
